Today I have a card for Thanksgiving. I recently saw this card by Janice using the older SU! oval punches to make pumpkins and it inspired me to pull out my punches and do the same thing! (Thanks for letting me know it was your card Janice) The background was done with a Lawn Fawn stitched cloud die, while the piece of mesh was die-cut and embossed with gold ep. The leaves were die cut from scraps of green and the stems, ferns and swirls where all from my snippets box. The pumpkins were done with bits of designer paper and sponged around the edges. I added a curly cue on top of the largest pumpkin by shredding the edge off some green card stock, then winding it around a knitting needle to give it some curl. The sentiment was done on a piece of brown metallic card stock and was embossed with a SU! Teeny Tiny Wishes sentiment stamp and some gold ep.
I'll enter this into the Paper Players PP506 challenge using the tic-tac-toe grid. I used the top row straight across.
We are having an exceptionally beautiful first day of September today with cool breezes and comfortable temperatures. After the humid summer, I'm ready for this cooler comfy weather and love having the windows open and gentle breezes blowing through the house! YES!
Here's wishing you a beautiful day too where you live! Thanks for stopping by!

OH Carol, this is the cutest little harvest card! I love your pumpkins on the vine and the entire background is just delicious! I see a CASE coming on! So fabulous! xoxo
Think it might have been me?? I recently had a card with Punch made pumpkins?! Anyway your card is absolutely adorable! Love the way you added leaves and the curl to the top of your pumpkin. Love using the mesh pieces they add such great texture to the cards. The cooler temps are nice! Windows open and AC off for the first time in months!!
Great Thanksgiving card and love the die-cut scene and love how you made the pumpkins-we had a beautiful really warm sunny day today and got all the washing dry lol after a couple of weeks cold and wet

Lovely card that epitomizes the beautiful season. I love your cluster of embellishments taking center stage, such a warm card. Like you, I love feeling fresh air blowing through the house... even in Winter my Windows are open :) x
Such great design with your punch-art!! LOVE your pumpkins made by that cute patterned paper, a great way to use little scraps too!! :D And the curly cue is a so pretty detail!! Also that cloudy stitched background is just fabulous, it really gives the idea of the fresh breeze!
I'm sure you are enjoying the real breeze in your home too :)
Stay well and strong, sending big hugs across the miles!

Wonderfully made with the pumpkins and all that texture. Wonderful layout and colors.
Such a beautiful card with the pretty pumpkins!!! Awesome background, too! A wonderful fall card!!
So beautiful, Carol! I recently seen too someone used the oval punches for a pumpkin....not sure who though but it was great to see! I have not made a pumpkin like that in years! This is gorgeous with that background and I like that you curled the paper to look like a vine! Perfect in every way & great job on the challenge, too! I am lovin the weather, too! It can stay this way the rest of the summer!!
Brilliantly designed card loving the dies and background you used, oh and your creativity. x

I love your pumpkins made from ovals and the great textures on this card. I was just outside this morning wondering when it would be time to put some pumpkins and fall decor out. Hope you have a good day!
I just love this design Carol as there are lots of wonderful texture and layers which are just perfect for the Fall season! The pumpkins are beautifully done as are the colors! Hard to believe this season is not upon us! Take care! HUGS
What a gorgeous and elegant card Carol, lovely background and elements.

I made my first fall card eons ago with punched pumpkins like that and it's still a great way to do it. All the die cut leaves and swirls look fabulous as does that terrific cover die background! Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players this week!
So nicely done Carol. I like your design.
A beautiful fall card, Carol! I had totally forgotten about pumpkins made from punched ovals! I love all of the texture against that terrific background. Thank you for playing in my Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge at The Paper Players this week!
Love the stitching This is very festive Good job ..Lis
This card is amazing Carol! I love all the attention to the little details you did. So much to see on this card and all layered up perfectly. I love that "mesh" looking die cut, the ferns and leaves are perfect as of course are those adorable pumpkins. The background looks like wind blowing swirling around! Love that! It was nice having a low temp, low humidity day! Nice breezes blowing through the house always lifts my spirits. But....now back to the AC as the humidity and dew points came back up. But tomorrow I think is supposed to be comfortable, so will see! Hugs, Brenda
Such a fun card, Carol! Love those pretty pumpkins on the textured background. The stitched swirls are the perfect touch. Thanks so much for joining us this week over at The Paper Players!
